    Famous Y Bridge – Zanesville, OH

    ByWayne Willis June 10, 2010January 25, 2018

    photo credit: minnemom In 1960, driving across Ohio on Route 40 with a group of fellow Boy Scouts, we pulled in Zanesville, OH and were greeted by a goofy looking bridge.   (“Go to the center of the bridge and turn left,” we were given for directions.)    A Historical Marker at one end declared,…

    ByWayne Willis June 10, 2010January 25, 2018

    Breakfast at Joni’s

    ByWayne Willis May 29, 2010January 25, 2018

    During the weekend of the Alcatraz race, we walked across the small park next to the Courtyard by Marriott to “Joni’s,”  a perfect little coffee-shop and restaurant.   It had simple and wonderful food — pancakes, eggs, oatmeal, milk, fruit … you name it.   Happily, we could sit outside, where, in the sun, it…
